Ahoudori

The Daisen chicken half-fried chicken is made for the middle of the table, where everyone can help themselves. It is the house speciality, sized for 2–3 people. Diners have praised its crisp exterior, juicy meat and rich chicken flavour. One diner said that ordering a whole portion alone left them full, so sharing it according to the size of your group is a good way to leave room for other dishes. Ahoudori also serves charcoal-grilled chicken cuts on plates rather than skewers.

Choose from cuts including thigh, seseri (chicken neck), white liver and chicken hearts, making it easy to compare different parts. If you prefer skewers, the chicken tenderloin comes with a choice of wasabi, plum and shiso, or yuzu kosho. Combining skewers with plate-served charcoal-grilled chicken makes it easy to order for a group with different tastes. Some diners have paired the simply fried chicken or charcoal-grilled thigh with steamed rice. For a final, more substantial dish, there is chicken-salt ramen, oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) or chicken rice porridge. Whether you want another izakaya dish to share or a bowl of rice or noodles is up to the mood of the evening.
